Hi, I'm using Rails 3.2.1 and following through Mike Hartl's tutorial. irb(main):024:0> User.first User Load (0.6ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" LIMIT 1 => ... irb(main):025:0> User.last User Load (1.0ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" ORDER BY "users"."id" DESC LIMIT 1 => ...
Here's what PostgreSQL docs say concerning ORDER-less SELECTs: "If the ORDER BY clause is specified, the returned rows are sorted in the specified order. If ORDER BY is not given, the rows are returned in whatever order the system finds fastest to produce. (See ORDER BY Clause below.)" So, shouldn't ORDER BY .. ASC be specified explicitly, instead of relying on an implementation detail that might later change?
